How fine is the grinding degree?
If you need a fine grind coffee in particular, this mill is not suitable. For “normal” Espresso and all other coffee varieties (besides of mocha) the fine grinding degree of this mill should be good enough.
A hand-coffee mill is something for comfortable people!
Electrical coffee mills have a speed of 600 rpm and more (catering mill even have 1.200 up to 1.400 rpm). When you turn the hand crank of the
Santiago
mill quickly, you reach a speed of about 60 rpm. Which means, it takes some time to grind the appropriate amount of coffee with a hand-coffee mill. However, if you (mostly) require a ‘quick’ result, then you are better served with an electrical counterpart.
Grinding degree is not centered!
All Zassenhaus cone grinding mechanisms are not centered, as the ground material couldn’t be moved through the grinding cone otherwise. Therefore, all grinding cones are shifted, so that grinding functions effectively.
You will notice that, when turning the adjustment nut right back a little bit. Then the mill runs a little ‘non-circular’ in neutral position.
Adjusting grinding degree:
With the knurled adjustment nut which is located below the crank, the grind can be adjusted. For a coarse grind turn the nut clockwise, for a finer grind turn counterclockwise.
Attention! Do not turn off too tight!
Never adjust the grinding degree too fine. You should always leave a space for the coffee beans and the ground material. A too fine adjustment may damage the grinding mechanism.
Maintenance tip:
If the coffee mill should serve you for a long time, we recommend to clean it with a small amount of rice regularly, at a slow rate. With this, oil leftovers will be removed which might stick the cone grinding mechanism together.
